Use the select tool which is the arrow as I show in this movie. You can copy and paste into another document.
Now if you want to edit text that another subject altogether.

Text select tool not working properly

When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.

Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

KdeGraphics-Okular - How to change the color of Text Selection tool

Hello All
I'm trying to know how to change/fix the color of the Text Selection Tool (Ctrl + 4). Because when I highlight the text, it's only one color (Dark Blue) that make me could not read clear.
---- My OS Configuration
OS : Arch
DE: LXDE
WM: OpenBox

The highlight color is determined by the system-wide color scheme that you're using. There's no way to change it only for okular.

Hello,
        Thanks for your response.
        I have implemented the function for AVToolRec as follows.
        AVToolRec AVRect;
        AVRect.size = sizeof(AVToolRec);
        AVRect.GetType = ASCallbackCreateProto(GetTypeProcType, &ToolGetType);
        AVRect.DoClick = ASCallbackCreateProto(DoClickProcType, &DoClick);
        AVRect.AdjustCursor = ASCallbackCreateProto(AdjustCursorProcType, &AdjustCursor);
        AVAppRegisterTool(&AVRect);
        ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 AdjustCursor(AVTool tool, AVPageView pageView, Int16 x, Int16 y)
               AVSysSetCursor((AVCursor) LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_CROSS));           //Works fine for cross
   I want to develop the cursor as acrobat provides.. "Selection tool for text and images"
   I tried to change the cursor to IDC_BEAM, But it's not useful. Is it possible to create the cursor as acrobat provides and get coordinates for the text selection.
Please help me to solve this.

Skipping to the top of the document when text selection tool selected

This may be difficult to explain. But often after I click in the toolbar to switch over to a specific Adobe document (in windows 7) that I previously opened and that is open to a page other than page 1 and with the text select tool has been selected, if I click into the text on the page (say page 4) and then scroll down with the mouse wheel to get to page five, the program will jump back to the beginning of page 1. (display is set at single page - fit page). I like Acrobat very much, but I find this to be extremely irritating and wasteful when trying to select text from and navigate a large document. Can you please tell me why this occurs?

I READ the user guide, which told me view>format bar>show format bar. I am talking about the bar that shows how to set the format-- font, spacing, etc. That has gone gray, and eliminated all the settings so I can't alter the settings or print.
Mari,
We're here to try to help you; we get some satisfaction out of helping folks to get along with their Apple Pages software. If you just take this one step at a time, I'm sure we can sort it out.
Thanks for clearing up what your primary issue is. You had Fruhulda all confused with your complaint about printing. I sort of glossed over the printing issue because you seemed to be more focused on the formatting.
Please re-read my first post - the part about the Format Bar being contextual - and let's go from there.

The new 'improved text selection feature' is too sensitive.

The new 'improved text selection feature' is too sensitive. It tends to highlight a whole page whenever i try to highlight just a single line. And then it keeps on crashing!
Please fix!

Could you please share your pdf file with us at [email protected] so that we can investigate this issue?

I have a comment. I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool. I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face. This tool does not work. It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple. How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple.
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?
Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result.

TS1389 I had an hotmail account many years ago, and since then got a yahoo account. I tried to play a song that was purchased on hotmail, however I don't think that account exists any more and I can't play those songs?

I had a hotmail account many years ago and purchased several ITunes. I found some of those old songs and tried to play them but needed authorization to do so. It keeps putting up this old account, and the passwords keeps coming up wrong? Since I don't use that old account, it is no longer in use. I do have a new Yahoo account with I Tunes, but won't let me use it for the old songs.
Thanks,

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Many years ago synced iCal with Microsoft program. Since installing Lion whenever I try to create an event in iCal it flashes up message "Unable to open Microsoft sync services Power PC applications no longer supported." How do I get rid of message?

Lion no longer supports PowerPC apps. If this is Microsoft Office 2008 (Entourage 2008) then you should disable the syncing services. (I don't have Office 2008 installed anymore so I don't know exactly what it's called anymore.) If you have Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, then it can't be run on Lion at all since Lion removed Rosetta, which is what allowed a PPC app to run on an Intel based Mac.
Also, I believe Microsoft removed sync services from the current Outlook 2011 (which replaces Entourage) so even upgrading to a newer version of Microsoft Office will not get you back that calendar sync feature. Supposedly Microsoft is working on a new syncing system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I have an old Ipod which I loaded music many years ago. . .I no longer have the itunes which I originally loaded, however, I have a new itune account with songs loaded. . what will happen if I load these songs onto my ipod today?

I have an older ipod which many years ago I loaded my music from Itunes on another computer. . .that computer crashed. . .I now have a new Itunes account and music loaded on another computer. . I would like to add songs onto my ipod. . .can this be done?

Not without erasing what is currently on the iPod first, since an iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time.
A better way to go about it, is to copy everything currently on the iPod to your new iTunes library first. Then connect it to iTunes and either choose the Erase and Sync option or restore the device to allow it to start syncing with the new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I need to remove the first device on my account from at many years ago. How? Device long gone.

I've had my account for many years and didn't know anything about deauthorizing devices back then. I've maxed out my number of devices at five and can't add anymore. I know the first device is long gone in a recycling bin some many years ago (or not, this was before recycling ewaste). The second device in my account is defunct, too.
How do I delete those two so I can add my "new" iPad?
help?

About authorization and deauthorization
Read the above link and follow the instructions to deauthorize all, then authorize the computers you actually have.
Note, only computers are authorized. iDevices are not relevant to the number of computers authorized for an account.

The email address connected to an old itunes account is no longer active. Can't access music i bought many years ago with out it and the old password.

Old iTunes account?
You created a new iTunes account instead of updating the old account with new info?'
Contact iTunes support.

Because the Nano was previous synced to another comuter/iTunes library.

Macbook Pro 2,33Ghz Core 2 Duo Radeon X1600, it has been presentng screen artifacts since a year ago. It is not in warranty now, but I read in the web that plenty of people is having the same problem as an early degradation issue. Sometimes the system freezes and stops respondign so I have to restart and lose all the unsaved work. A few moths ago, the Superdrive stopped recognizing the disc because of a firmware update released by Apple!! It is not acceptable. Solution?
Apple should give a solution to all these people who spent more than 2500$ in a laptop that has stopped working in less than 3 years!
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10330060-263.html

Yes, it appears the X1600 has more than its fair share of issues. I've seen reports of people reflowing the solder joints on/around the GPU with success, even baking the LB in the oven.
The rest is something you'll have to take up with Apple.
